Going for that Triple Crown all in his 70s..um........could easily see this transfer to Broadway at some point
Succession star Brian Cox, who plays mogul Logan Roy in the HBO family drama, is to take on the role of another imposing patriarch on stage in London.
The Scottish actor will appear in a new production of Eugene O’Neill’s play Long Day’s Journey Into Night, directed by Jeremy Herrin. He takes on the role of the fading performer James Tyrone whose family is wrecked by addiction, bitter rage and denial. Cox said it had long been an ambition of his to play the “flawed” lead and that he was “delighted to have the opportunity to do so on a West End stage”. He added: “I’m a great admirer of Jeremy Herrin’s work and I am looking forward to us delving into O’Neill’s masterpiece together.”
